Gold fever is here at OMCA! Discover what life was like in the California Gold Rush days. Come and try your hand at panning for real gold, Forty-Niner style, in the Museum gardens. Learn how to tell the difference between real gold and fool’s gold and keep all you find! Admission is free as a part of Free First Sunday. OMCA Family is made possible by generous support from Chevron and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
